grub2-mkconfig Mount Error

I'm running into some issues running grub2-mkconfig - it's throwing the error: "mount: mount(2) failed: No such file or directory"

Running the script in debug i.e. "bash -x /sbin/grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/arch/grub.cfg" leads me to believe it's hanging at the 30_os-prober script:

+ /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober
mount: mount(2) failed: No such file or directory
+ echo '### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###'

It's not clear to me what it's trying to mount given that both /boot and /boot/efi are already mounted.

Here's my disk layout:

sda                                            8:0    0 232.9G  0 disk
├─sda1                                         8:1    0   200M  0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2                                         8:2    0   500M  0 part /boot
└─sda3                                         8:3    0 232.2G  0 part
  ├─core_hell01--serv01-root                 253:0    0   190G  0 lvm  /
  ├─core_hell01--serv01-swap                 253:1    0    24G  0 lvm  [SWAP]
sdb                                            8:16   0   2.7T  0 disk
└─sdb1                                         8:17   0   2.7T  0 part /storage
sdc                                            8:32   0   2.7T  0 disk
└─sdc1                                         8:33   0   2.7T  0 part

Can anyone help?

Re: grub2-mkconfig Mount Error

I'm running into some issues running grub2-mkconfig

I'm not surprised -- Arch has no such command.

Does this command produce any output:

grub-mkconfig

Please also detail the steps you have taken so far; for example, why have you mounted /boot/efi to the ESP?

This is not recommended in the official installation guides -- which guide have you been following?

Re: grub2-mkconfig Mount Error

Use systemd bootloader, is more better for EFI bios.

bootctl install
